[00:10] SoldierF     I beat her! I defeated Fearsome Fran! [00:16] Kaoru     Like hell you did! [00:30] Soldiers     What is that? [00:31] Soldiers     A golden... cloud? SIGN    The Goddess Descends to End the War! [02:10] Kaoru     I am about to perform a     very important ritual! [02:13] Kaoru     All of you, just keep quiet and stay put! [02:16] Kaoru     If you want to continue     this war, do it after I'm done! [02:22] Kaoru     Knight Francette, [02:23] Kaoru     your continued hard work and valor     in protecting your lord prove that, [02:27] Kaoru     as a knight, you have lived      a praiseworthy life! [02:30] Francette     Lady... Kaoru... [02:34] Kaoru     But I'm sure you feel there's     much left for you to do. [02:37] Kaoru     So I will give you a gift to take     with you into your next life. [02:43] Kaoru     What would you like? Unrivaled wisdom? [02:46] Kaoru     Or an attractive appearance? [02:48] Francette     S-Strength... [02:50] Francette     The strength to protect my lord once more... [02:56] Kaoru     I had a feeling you'd say that. [02:59] Kaoru     A silly wish like that doesn't     have to wait for your next life. [03:02] Kaoru     Make it come true in this one. [03:13] Aligot SoldierA     I-It's a miracle... [03:15] Aligot SoldierB     The rumors about an angel of     the goddess were true. [03:19] Francette     Lady Kaoru. [03:20] Kaoru     A knight needs a sword. [03:23] Kaoru     I don't think that sword     will be enough for you. [03:33] Kaoru     Knight Francette, I grant you title of     Einherjar, guardian knight of the goddess, [03:40] Kaoru     and this holy blade, Exgram. [03:45] Kaoru     Carve a path to victory with this sword. [03:49] Kaoru     Now go forth, Einherjar—holy knight Francette! [03:54] Francette     I shall! [04:04] Kaoru     This sword is made of a special alloy. [04:07] Kaoru     The thickness of its forward     edge is monomolecular, [04:10] Kaoru     and it uses its wielder's bioelectrical     current as a power source [04:13] Kaoru     to vibrate at very high speeds, making     it what you'd call a "vibro-blade." [04:17] Kaoru     But that's just the container's shape.      Inside is a potion. [04:20] Kaoru     No other blade in the world even     comes close to its sharpness. [04:29] Kaoru     Hm. Pretty apt name for something     I came up with on the fly. [04:35] Roland     May I also... [04:37] Kaoru     Oh, for crying out loud... All right. [04:40] Kaoru     Here. You get the holy blade Exridill. [04:44] Kaoru     Each guard gets an Exhrotti, made with the     power of a holy blade divided into four. [04:53] Kaoru     Why do guys always want this sort of thing? [04:56] Kaoru     They always buy wooden swords     on school field trips, too. [04:59] Kaoru     Prince Roland. [05:02] Kaoru     You can't use that sword effectively     if you're still wounded. [05:06] Roland     I am in your debt. [05:08] Kaoru     Make sure Fran doesn't get out of control. [05:10] Roland     No need to even ask! Let's go! [05:13] Guards     Yeah! [05:14] Kaoru     Oh, and I'll need you to return     those swords to me later! [05:22] Imperial General     First that natural disaster, and now this? [05:25] Imperial General     What is going on here? [05:29] Messenger     Reporting! [05:30] Messenger     That explosion and the golden cloud     were the work of the angel girl! [05:35] Messenger     Also, the angel not only     resurrected Fearsome Fran, [05:39] Messenger     but she named her a holy knight     and gave her a holy sword! [05:43] Imperial General     A h-holy sword?! [05:48] Francette     It's so light! [05:50] Francette     Like the wings of an angel! [05:55] Aligot SoldierA     Sh-She's not human! [05:57] Aligot SoldierC     A demon... She's a demon! [05:59] Ed     That was a pretty close call, miss. [06:02] Kaoru     Yeah. I was careless. [06:04] Kaoru     I had no idea the enemy had     that much information about me. [06:09] Kaoru     This is war. There's no     solution where nobody dies. [06:13] Kaoru     But I can end it as quickly as     possible and minimize deaths. [06:18] Kaoru     So... [06:30] Imperial General     The wrath of the goddess... [06:32] Imperial General     So that girl is a follower of the goddess...     no, she's the goddess herself! [06:39] Imperial General     We're retreating. [06:45] Roland     I don't think the Empire of Aligot     will ever mess with our kingdom again. [06:50] Francette     The Holy Land of Rueda will lose     its status as a neutral nation. [06:54] Roland     Yes. [06:56] Roland     Our messenger said the priest who was     with the army invading the capital [06:59] Roland     told us all about their     secret agreement with Aligot. [07:02] Roland     Apparently, he started talking the moment     they gave him one of Kaoru's potions. [07:09] Kaoru     Wha... [07:09] Kaoru     Well, you know, I'd feel bad     letting him be tortured and stuff, [07:12] Kaoru     so I just made a little potion that'd     make him want to tell the truth. [07:17] Kaoru     Right, they don't have truth     serums in this world, do they? [07:20] Roland     That's dirty. [07:22] Francette     How merciful you are! [07:23] Francette     I could serve no greater master! [07:26] Francette     I have been reborn. [07:28] Francette     "Fearsome Fran" is now the goddess's     guardian knight Einherjar! [07:33] Roland     Uh, Fran, your master is... [07:35] Francette     I will take a leave of     absence from your service! [07:38] Francette     I can serve none but Lady Kaoru now! [07:43] Roland     I see. I mean, that's fine, I guess. [07:46] Kaoru     By the way, Prince Roland... [07:49] Kaoru     Could you give me back the     holy sword I lent you? [07:52] Kaoru     You're not a guardian knight of     the goddess. You're just royalty. [07:57] Roland     Can't I keep it a little longer?! [07:58] Kaoru     No. [08:01] Kaoru     Thirty days after the Imperial     Army fled in defeat, [08:03] Kaoru     a peace conference was held     in Grua, the royal capital SIGN    Kingdom of Balmore, Royal Capital Grua, Plaza, 30 Days Later [08:06] Kaoru     of the victorious Kingdom of Balmore. [08:09] Kaoru     It was attended by representatives from     the three nations involved in the war: [08:13] Kaoru     King Serge from the Kingdom of Balmore, [08:16] Kaoru     the chancellor of the Empire of     Aligot in the emperor's stead... [08:20] Kaoru     and from the Holy Land of Rueda,     the Pope himself attended. [08:25] Kaoru     A peace conference would normally     be conducted in private, [08:28] Kaoru     but this one was held in public. [08:30] Kaoru     This unusual spectacle drew many spectators [08:33] Kaoru     not only from the capital, but from     the surrounding lands as well. [08:36] Serge     This peace conference will now begin. [08:40] Serge     For the aforementioned reasons, [08:42] Serge     the Kingdom of Balmore makes the following     demands of the Empire of Aligot. [08:46] Serge     First, monetary compensation for the damages     our nation suffered in this battle. [08:52] Serge     Second, ransom for prisoners, plus compensation      for meals and medical treatment... [08:58] Chancellor     This is outrageous! [08:59] Chancellor     It was the Kingdom of Balmore that     created the reason for this war! [09:03] Chancellor     You wrongly confined the     angel within your own country [09:06] Chancellor     and monopolized all of her potions! [09:09] Chancellor     Our nation wanted to save the angel— [09:11] Kaoru     Uh, I'm not an angel or anything. [09:14] Kaoru     And I wasn't wrongly confined at all. [09:18] Kaoru     I'm only in this country because [09:20] Kaoru     I happened to decide to live     here during my travels, [09:23] Kaoru     and my potions are available     for purchase to everyone. [09:26] Kaoru     That includes our neighbors     in Brancott, Aseed... [09:29] Kaoru     Oh, and... [09:31] Kaoru     I sold some to your Holy Land of Rueda, too. [09:37] Kaoru     I never regarded the Empire of     Aligot with intentional hostility. [09:41] Chancellor     B-But our country has not     received any at all... [09:44] Kaoru     That's an issue of shelf life. [09:47] Kaoru     Say the Kingdom of Balmore got upset [09:49] Kaoru     because we couldn't eat raw fish     caught in the Empire of Aligot. [09:52] Kaoru     Would you want us declaring war over that? [09:56] Kaoru     Still, I know just saying     that doesn't help you. [09:59] Kaoru     I'll try to improve them     so they last a bit longer. [10:03] Kaoru     Besides, your financial situation is only     going to get worse at this rate, right? [10:07] Chancellor     Well... [10:08] Kaoru     There is a way to do something about it. [10:10] Kaoru     Are you interested in     hearing what I have to say? [10:14] Kaoru     The whole reason the Empire of Aligot     started their war of conquest [10:18] Kaoru     was that its mountainous land was difficult     to farm, so their only industry was fishing. [10:24] (Flashback) Kaoru     Come forth, potion shaped like Verny! [10:29] (Flashback) Kaoru     Expansion of farmland and the     establishment of a key industry... [10:34] (Flashback) Kaoru     How can both of those be resolved? [10:37] Kaoru     That's it! [10:39] Chancellor     A large island to the west of our nation? [10:42] Kaoru     Yes. It has roughly the same     amount of land as the Empire. [10:45] Kaoru     It's easier to farm and      has mineral resources. [10:50] Kaoru     Aligot was not blessed with fertile land. [10:53] Kaoru     But is that really true? [10:54] Kaoru     Abundant forest resources     could be used, for example... [10:57] Kaoru     to make ships like this one, could they not? [11:02] Kaoru     If you work on your shipbuilding     technology and take to the seas, [11:05] Kaoru     you could obtain foreign     goods through trading. [11:08] Kaoru     You could also take the initiative      in developing the untouched western island. [11:13] Chancellor     Why would you share this with your enemy? [11:16] Kaoru     Because I don't want you starting     any more disastrous wars. [11:20] Kaoru     If we forced you to pay     massive reparations on top of all this, [11:24] Kaoru     your nation would become impoverished,     and your citizens unhappy. [11:27] Kaoru     That would only lead to yet another war. [11:31] Kaoru     Which is why, King Serge... [11:33] Serge     Y-Yes? [11:34] Kaoru     Collect their reparations in installments. [11:38] Serge     Huh? [11:39] Kaoru     Even if it's only until the Empire's     financial situation stabilizes. [11:43] Kaoru     Getting too greedy would be a bad look. [11:46] Serge     Y-You're right. I'll do my     best to accommodate them. [11:51] Chancellor     I am grateful for your     compassion, King of Balmore. [11:57] Kaoru     Okay, next up is these guys... [12:02] Pope     We're to pay the same amount in     reparations as the Empire of Aligot?! [12:05] Pope     Hmph! Don't be ridiculous! [12:08] Serge     The priest we took hostage testified about     your secret agreement with the Empire. [12:12] Serge     I have a written oath right     here with his signature. [12:14] Serge     Your role in this invasion is quite clear. [12:16] Pope     Such documents are trivial to forge! [12:19] Pope     How dare you insult our Holy Land     with this baseless slander?! [12:23] Pope     I demand a retraction and an apology! [12:29] Kaoru     Really? But it's all true, isn't it? [12:33] Kaoru     I saw that priest from Rueda marching     with the Aligot army with my own eyes! [12:37] Pope     Wh-What did you say,     you servant of the devil?! [12:40] Kaoru     Wait, what? Didn't you say     I was an angel of the goddess? [12:45] Kaoru     That's why you lent your     aid in this war, isn't it? [12:49] Kaoru     In hopes of making the     Holy Land more powerful, [12:51] Kaoru     you wanted to "safeguard" me      in your country against my will, [12:54] Kaoru     winning a monopoly on the sale     of my potions in the process. [12:58] Kaoru     Is that not correct, Your Holiness? [13:02] Pope     Enough! [13:03] Pope     In that case, I will use the Holy Land's     secret treasure to prove our righteousness [13:08] Pope     and destroy the devil's servant who     misrepresents herself as an angel! [13:13] Pope     This is the secret treasure the     goddess Celestine bestowed upon us [13:16] Pope     when she blessed the     Holy Land with her miracle! [13:19] Pope     The sacred object she entrusted us to use     if our country ever faced another crisis, [13:24] Pope     which calls the goddess herself     to descend upon our realm! [13:27] Pope     Behold the goddess's miracle! [13:29] Pope     Our Holy Land of Rueda is a     nation blessed by the goddess, [13:33] Pope     and we are her blessed people! [13:46] Pope     Goddess Celestine! Thank you for     gracing us with your presence! [13:49] Celestine     Where is the distortion?! [13:51] Pope     Eh? [13:52] Celestine     I said, where is the distortion?! [13:56] Kaoru     Hey, Celes. Long time no see. [13:58] Celestine     Oh, Kaoru! I didn't expect to see you here. [14:01] Celestine     Wait, this isn't the time for that! [14:03] Kaoru     There is no distortion. [14:05] Celestine     Huh? [14:05] Kaoru     That guy just wrongfully     used the emergency crystal ball [14:08] Kaoru     to summon you in hopes     of saving his own skin. [14:11] Celestine     Say what? [14:12] Kaoru     After all, the Holy Land of     Rueda is blessed by the goddess, [14:16] Kaoru     and its people are better than everyone     else because they're blessed. [14:19] Kaoru     Seems he wanted to tell the rest of     us to shut up and bend to his will. [14:23] Celestine     Huh? I don't follow. [14:25] Pope     G-Goddess? [14:27] Celestine     I've never given any special     blessings to any one nation. [14:32] Pope     B-But when you descended     in our country before, [14:36] Pope     you gave us this crystal ball. [14:38] Celestine     Oh, that? [14:39] Celestine     I give those out in every location     where I fix a distortion. [14:44] Celestine     In any case, [14:46] Celestine     I think this is the second time I've     been summoned over something so silly. [14:50] Kaoru     What happened the first time? [14:52] Celestine     I was so irritated, I destroyed     the entire country. [14:56] Celestine     I even accidentally destroyed      the surrounding countries. [15:01] Kaoru     Uh, total annihilation seems a bit crude... [15:04] Kaoru     Please don't do that this time, okay? [15:06] Celestine     Well, okay, if you're the one asking. [15:10] Celestine     But you there! [15:13] Celestine     I have never once blessed     your country or your people, [15:18] Celestine     nor did I hand you a doctrine or     acknowledge you as my followers. [15:22] Celestine     I hereby forbid you from ever using my name     to serve your own purposes or justify war again. [15:28] Celestine     If you do, I won't be so tolerant next time. [15:31] Pope     Please forgive me! [15:34] Kaoru     Say, everyone, don't you think we     should stop calling Rueda a "Holy Land"? [15:39] Kaoru     The goddess doesn't favor     any one group of people over another. [15:43] Kaoru     Right, Celes? [15:44] Celestine     Pretty much. [15:45] Celestine     Oh, but the temples in each nation     are still welcome to use my name. [15:51] Celestine     You're allowed to worship     me as your goddess, as well. [15:54] People     We are so fortunate! [15:56] Celestine     By the way, Kaoru, what do     you think of this world? [15:59] Celestine     I know you kind of just got here, but... [16:00] Kaoru     No, I've been here for quite a while! [16:03] Kaoru     Your sense of time is way off from ours! [16:05] Celestine     Oh, yeah. To me, ten years and a     hundred years are about the same, [16:10] Celestine     but humans aren't like that, huh? [16:12] Kaoru     For sure. [16:14] Kaoru     I've had all kinds of adventures     and a lot of fun, thanks. [16:17] Celestine     Really? Maybe I can go ahead and     deliver a report to him, then. [16:23] Kaoru     Yeah, if you wait too long, I could     end up an old woman pretty quick. [16:30] Celestine     Oh, of course you wouldn't!     You and your funny jokes! [16:35] Celestine     Well, I need to head back now. [16:37] Kaoru     Got it. [16:39] Kaoru     Play it smooth with that Earth guy, okay? [16:43] Celestine     I'll do my best! [16:44] Kaoru     And with that, our unprecedented conference     featuring a visit from the goddess ended. [16:49] Kaoru     Afterward, Rueda lost its     status as the "holy land," [16:53] Kaoru     and all the clergymen who were lining     their own pockets were arrested. [16:58] Kaoru     The Empire of Aligot, however,     gladly went back over the mountains [17:01] Kaoru     in search of partners to negotiate with. [17:03] Kaoru     And... SIGN    Kingdom of Balmore, Port Town (Four Years Later) [17:05] Roland     So this is Aligot's new ship? [17:08] Roland     I'd heard rumors, but it's     more than I ever expected. [17:11] Francette     Yes, it's truly splendid. [17:13] Kaoru     And, um... what's that? [17:15] Francette     The ship's guardian deity. [17:17] Francette     The goddess who saved the Empire     of Aligot, or so they say. [17:20] Roland     They say her glare scares     away monsters in the sea. [17:24] Kaoru     Oh, that's why the eyes look like that. [17:27] Kaoru     They could've added a little more up     top to make me look more like Celes. [17:31] Kaoru     Four years later, this     world is still at peace. [17:36] Kaoru     The Empire of Aligot is investing in     marine trading to increase its strength, [17:40] Kaoru     and Rueda was annexed by     the Kingdom of Balmore [17:43] Kaoru     and is now ruled by a new government. [17:45] Kaoru     I retired from my job helping     at Meyer Workshop. [17:49] Kaoru     A member of Eyes of the Goddess,     Lolotte, does their housework now. [17:54] Kaoru     And by the way... [17:55] Kaoru     Asil seems to have grown quite     attached to Lolotte lately. [17:59] Kaoru     Lucy took over the operation     of the house the kids live in. [18:03] Kaoru     Both Emil and Belle have really grown up. [18:06] Kaoru     Things seem to be going     well with them lately. [18:09] Kaoru     Same for these two. [18:11] Kaoru     Roland finally asked Fran to marry him. [18:14] Kaoru     Her answer was... well, that's     probably obvious, huh? [18:18] Kaoru     And that means... [18:20] Kaoru     I'm the only one left     who's still on the market! [18:25] Kaoru     So anyway, I'm thinking of     heading out on a journey. [18:28] Kaoru     Please don't look for me. [18:29] Roland     What do you intend to do on this journey? [18:32] Kaoru     It'll be a pleasure trip     to look for a husband. [18:34] Francette     A husband? Uh, but... [18:37] Kaoru     Yes, in the past four years, [18:39] Kaoru     I didn't grow a single millimeter. [18:42] Kaoru     In fact, nothing about me,     physically, has changed at all. [18:46] Kaoru     It must be because... [18:47] (Flashback) Celestine     Oh, of course you wouldn't!     You and your funny jokes! [18:52] Kaoru     Celes reincarnated me using     a god's sense of time, didn't she? [18:57] Kaoru     Anyway, I want to get away from this     area where everyone knows about me. [19:04] Kaoru     I won't be able to supply     you with potions anymore, [19:07] Kaoru     but you'll only be going back     to the way you lived before. [19:11] Kaoru     I believe the goddess's blessing should     be spread out widely, thinly, and equally. [19:16] Roland     You're right. In the past four years, [19:18] Roland     our kingdom's readiness in     medical matters has improved drastically. [19:21] Roland     Even without potions, [19:23] Roland     we should be able to save many sick     and injured people on our own now. [19:27] Kaoru     So I'll be saying goodbye     to all of you for a while. [19:30] Kaoru     Thank you for all you've done for me. [19:39] Kaoru     And... it still turns out like this, huh? [19:42] Ed     Well, where to, miss? [19:44] Kaoru     I'll head to the Kingdom of Brancott for now. [19:47] Kaoru     I can't get to the other countries in     the east without passing through there, [19:51] Kaoru     and there are some people there     that I'd like to thank properly. [19:55] Kaoru     It's just... [19:56] Ed     Just what? [19:57] Kaoru     That guy is there, too. [20:00] Fernand     What?! Kaoru has returned to our kingdom?! [20:04] Fernand     I can't just sit around here!      I must go find her! [20:07] Allan     Hey, come on. You're getting     ahead of yourself here. [20:10] Fabio     We only just got word from the     border guard's mounted messenger. [20:14] Fernand     I don't care! There's no way     I'm letting her go this time! [20:20] Fernand     I've had many marriage proposals      in the past four years, [20:22] Fernand     and I turned them all down. Do you know why? [20:25] Fernand     Yes! It was all so I could     take Kaoru as my wife! [20:29] Allan     He's gotten a lot worse. [20:31] Fabio     It's an obsession at this point. [20:33] Fernand     Just wait, Kaoru! My beloved bride-to-be! [20:39] Fernand     Huh?! [20:42] Eme     I told you, the one who came here     was Kaoru's older sister, Alpha! [20:47] Fabio     Are you certain? [20:48] Allan     The two of them do look identical. [20:51] Agathe     We're positive. [20:53] Agathe     When we told her Kaoru was run out of     the capital with injuries... Remember? [20:58] Eme     She got a really scary     look on her face and said, [21:00] Eme     "I'll make those guys     regret this!" She was furious! [21:04] Eme     It even made us shiver! [21:06] Fernand     I-I see. I do apologize. [21:15] Fernand     It was the older sister again. [21:18] Fernand     Where in the world is Kaoru, then? [21:21] Fabio     Fernand, this is difficult to say, but... [21:24] Allan     Just give up on her already. [21:26] Allan     If you still can't find her after all this,      that's probably her answer to you. [21:34] Fernand     No. [21:35] Allan/Fabio     Huh? [21:36] Fernand     There is only one I have     chosen to be my wife! [21:39] Fernand     And that's you, Kaoru! [21:41] Fernand     I will never give up on you! [21:44] Francette     What's the matter? [21:45] Kaoru     I don't know... I just felt a     terrible chill all of a sudden. [21:51] Roland     The town of Celinas is in sight now. [21:55] Kaoru     Okay, everyone, once we enter town,      remember our story. [21:59] Kaoru     We're noble brothers and sisters. [22:01] Francette     Understood, Lady Kaoru.
